Qatar Education Study (QES) 2012

The Qatar National Development Strategy 2011-2016 (NDS) outlines the targets for achieving the goals in the Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV 2030), and the Education and Training Sector Strategy 2011-2016 (ETSS) of the Supreme Education Council (SEC) identifies the measureable outcomes and projects to prepare citizens for the future. Both of these strategies are in the early phases of implementation, making this an ideal time to consider attitudes toward the current state of K-12 education. The Qatar Education Study (QES), which is a series of surveys, provides such a resource for policymakers with a variety of topics pertaining to how students, parents, teachers, and administrators view the current education system. The surveys included more than 4,200 participants from 39 preparatory and secondary schools. Examining the attitudes of all members of the education system will assist in the development of future plans for education in Qatar.
